Karla takes great care of my Sofie when I'm out of town. She's a total animal lover and is clearly committed to keeping pets happy and healthy. You're not going to find a friendlier dog sitter :)

Mom away from home.

Growing up my parents didn't allow me to have any pets. *Super bummer* But as soon as I moved out on my own made up for the lost time by taking care of many, many pets. I became the friend who would house sit all the time, the family member vacation pet sitter and the rescue animal lover.

Growing up my parents didn't allow me to have any pets. *Super bummer* But as soon as I moved out on my own made up for the lost time by taking care of many, many pets. I became the friend who would house sit all the time, the family member vacation pet sitter and the rescue animal lover.

I've also had my own furry baby India for 8 years and Ruby our 'Hurricane" anxious prone rescue for 1 year. She appeared in my garage in the middle of a hurricane.

When I moved to NYC they stayed behind with their "dad" and I missed them daily.

I'd like to have another pet but I feel emotionally loyal and connected to the ones that are still back home. Which is why I'd like to give all this untapped love to your bundle of joy. I assure you they'll be taken care as they were my own.

What Karla would like to know about your dog

I want to be as prepared as possible to make your furball feel at home.- Daily Routine [Consistency is important.]- What's their energy level? [Laid back stay home for belly rubs kinda fella or high energy longer walks run like the wind to feel cared and happy?]-Are they Neutered? [I prefer that they neutered. If not I can meet the pooch and see if we are ok with each other] -Do they have their vaccinations Up to date? Very important. - If dog sitting/boarding : will this be their first time away from home? [Homesickness is a reality for dogs too. It's best to be prepared for it]- Behavior/Personality [Do they bark at people passing by or feel nervous, specially with people on bikes. Etc]-Are they trained to potty outside or do they have a designated area at home?

When Karla watches your pet

I live in Bay Ridge walking distance from 2 beautiful long parks. I also live extremely near the Verrazano bridge/ walk path by the shore. During nice summery days we'll have long/fun walks and adventures.

During the winter I'm 2 blocks away from a smaller park but they'll still get a nice walk out.

The house has a beautiful deck where we can play and sunbathe. It's a nice comfortable sunny house.
